Land/Snow Kiting

With the growth and expansion of kitesurfing, land kiting and snowkiting has also become more and more common. Land kiting is great for kiteboarders who don’t live close to the beach, or do not always have access to large bodies of water. Snow kiting lets you use the power of the wind to pull you on your skis or snowboard. Whichever sport, Snowkiting or LandKiting, KiteLine has you covered for gear.

The new 2015 HQ Matrixx II is the next logical step after the first Matrixx and sets a new standard in terms of versatility.

Design and Performance

For the new Matrixx II, our design took an in-depth look and took on the latest knowledge of paragliding designs. With almost the same AR, we were able to increase the performance of the kite in every aspect. This is not only due to the new kite design, but also the performance has improved due to the new super light 20D fabric.The new Matrixx II feels more direct, faster and offers more performance than ever before, the lift, hang time and turning speed are at a higher level. The size split of the Matrixx II is unique. The smaller sizes are well optimized for the mid wind range. The 15 and 18m are especially trimmed for light winds. Due to the usage of a lighter rib material than on the other sizes the weight on the 18m was reduced to only 3.5kg incl. the bar. This makes the 18m to be one of the best light windkites on the market.

Choice of material

The new Matrixx II has a well-chosen mix of different high-spec materials. Every size of the Matrixx II is equipped with our super light 20D ripstop materials. This material saves around 35% of weight in regards to the previous version.For the bridle, we have chosen a super thin spliced Dyneema line, this will help to reduce the drag produced by the kite and help it to fly faster. We have also chosen material which has been proven for many years within the kiting industry highly effective for the mixer and flying lines. The precision of the manufacturing of the kite is extremely high, only using high standards like this we have been able to build a kite to a high specification and standard of performance.

Who is the Matrixx II intended for?

The Matrixx II is the perfect kite for all who like to experience the maximum of lift and hang time. This kite turns and flies fast with super light materials. This perfect combination lets you be one of the first on the water. It has never been easier to handle a closed cell foil! Yet with the new design generated this has a higher standard of stability, making it perfect to increase the personal riding level for any rider without paying too much attention to the kite. The Matrixx II combines characteristics of different disciplines without their difficulty in handling, so no more tip tucking, big turning radius or difficult launching. It is simply a more enjoyable way of kiting, you just unpack the kite and enjoy every second of your ride. Every size is perfectly adjusted for its wind range. If you want to do long and high jumps, go upwind without thinking about it and experience high end performance, the Matrixx II is the kite of your choice.

2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 Design Features

Single-Skin Concept - The 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 is a foil kite which only needs one top sail to form the wing. This Single-Skin concept draws in kiters with its unique characteristics and ratio of performance per square meter. The high efficiency remains controllable thanks to the 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3’s progressive depower and stability. The kite benefits from the wing’s lack of inertia, has far less tendency to overshoot and its reduced weight means it behaves well in gusty wind. When it comes to kiting in the low-end wind range, the 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 definitely sets the standard.

Universal Application - The 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 is as easy to fly as an entry-level school kite but designed for high-adrenaline adventures. Whether it’s on land or snow, with a kite landboard or a buggy, skis or snowboards, for freeride or teaching purposes, adults or children, beginners or advanced, for urban street kiting or as a traveling companion; the 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 is your ultimate weapon for your daily session.

Unmatched Low End - Can you fly a kite with nearly no wind? You can with the 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3! The kite provides incredible stability and control in the lightest winds. With a 30% reduction of the bridle lines, the 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 produces less drag, letting it achieve its unique low-end. You can even have fun in 3 – 8 knot winds!

Reef Line Safety - The unique, patented Reef Line Safety of the 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 ensures maximum security and all but guarantees the easy reactivation of the kite. The advantage of the Reef Line, compared to a single frontline safety system, is an immediate contraction of the kite’s wing span. This results in a controlled, powerless crash of the kite. In light winds it may occur that some lines fold over a wingtip. The Reef Line Safety is an additional red-colored line included in every 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 package. Please follow the assembly instructions carefully.

Minimal Pack Size - The 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 is built for traveling, trekking and touring. Its Single-Skin concept meets the requirements for snowkiting and landkiting better than any other kite. Take advantage of its featherlight weight and super-small pack sizes. The 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3 provides highest safety in the most dangerous situations, supported by the Reef Line Safety and an immediate loss of power, if needed, at any time.

High Quality & Durable - The 2017 Flysurfer Peak 3’s durability remains true to the FLYSURFER Kiteboarding philosophy. We build extensively-tested products with functional and rugged components. New reinforcements are targeted at specific high-stress areas such as at the leading edge. We are proud to further improve our product quality.

The integrated swivel function untwists the lines smoothly and flawlessly — even after many rotations — by simply powering up the Bar. In addition, the Bar width and the steering lines can be adjusted and optimized to meet the needs of the rider.

Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Airstyle Bar Tech. Data

Quick Release 3.0

The Quick Release 3.0 (QR 3.0) is the core of the bar. It not only meets the French standard (AFNOR) in terms of safety and trigger forces, it is also extremely robust, compact, lightweight and of course reliable. A flexible, unbreakable Chicken Dick and a new ergonomic handle allow a quick and easy release of the kite in an emergency situation.

Infinite Rotations

The smooth, integrated swivel function of the Quick Release 3.0 provides an automatic untwisting of the flying lines when powering up the bar. The safety system remains fully functional even after numerous rotations in one direction.

Ergonomic Grip Design

The slim, lightweight Control Bar features a fresh-green signal color on the right-hand side and is available in two lengths – 50 and 60cm. The abrasion-resistant, ergonomic EVA grip is extremely comfortable for the hand and assures solid control even in cold or wet conditions.

Double-V-Shaped Eyelet

The optimized and reduced-friction Double-V-Shaped Eylet ensures an easy and direct steering response. The powering up and depower functions work even when when you turn the Bar.

Pull-Pull Adjuster

The Pull-Pull Adjuster allows for the adjustment of the ratio of the lines (front to control lines) with a short handle, even when the kite in the air. This allows the user to regulate the depower function optimally and quickly. Below the Adjuster is a simple sliding stopper ball. We recommend the use of the stopper ball to advanced riders and ambitious airstylers when kiting in constant winds.

Tuning Options

At the integrated Winder you can change the bar width by up to 5 cm, which is recommended when using a bar for many kite sizes. Additionally, the control lines can be adjusted below the floaters, meaning you can counteract the effects of shortened steering lines and tendency to backstall. These features allow the bar setup to be individually adjusted to the rider.

Low Drag Flying Lines

The low-drag flying lines (length: 21m) have an impressively-low air resistance (diameter: 1.45mm Front / Back 1,2mm) and a very high breaking load (300kg Front / Back 200kg). For years we have put our trust in our parter LIROS for supplying high-quality lines. The 60cm Airstlye Bar setup is additionally equipped with 6m extensions of the flying lines. Thanks to this feature, the low end gets even more effective when using one of our larger kites.

Frontline-Safety (FLS)

It is our standard at FLYSURFER to use the system of the Frontline Safety – this additional FLS end line is incorporated approximately in the middle of a front line – the exact details are always dependent on the kite line and the kite size. However, some FLYSURFER kite lines use a different safey system. The VIRON, for example, has a Raff-Safety. For lovers of the 5th line, a FDS conversion kit (full depower system) is available in most product lines.

The optimized and reduced-friction Double-V-Shaped Eylet ensures an easy and direct steering response. The powering up and depower function works even when when you turn the Bar

Clam-Cleat Race Adjuster

Optimized Air Drag Race Flying Line System

For the Race flying lines (length 21m), we have worked to find an optimal balance between diameter reduction and breaking load (front 1.45mm / 300kg – Back 0.8mm / 160kg). Additionally, we have conciously included a very short Frontline Safety (FLS), which represents an extension of a front line. This reduces the air resistance of the entire Race flying-line construction, which has the direct advantage of allowing the kit to reach higher speeds. Finally, the line guide is optimized by the double-V-Shaped eyelet in the Bar handle. Optional Race flying-line extensions in 2m or 4m are available in the FLYSURFER Webshop. For years we have put our trust in our parter LIROS for supplying high-quality lines.

Tuning Options

At the integrated Winder you can change the bar width by up to 5 cm, which is recommended when using a bar for many kite sizes. Additionally, the control lines can be adjusted below the floaters, meaning you can counteract the effects of shortened steering lines and tendency to backstall.

Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite w/Pro Race Bar & Lines

Read more about what Flysurfer says about the Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite

The Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite instantly shows that we made no compromises in performance… get excited by exceptional efficiency – the race is on! At FLYSURFER Kiteboarding – the proving ground for kiteboarding technology – the dedication to the kite-racing sport isn’t just for show. It’s a science. Pushing the Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite to the limit reflects the spirit of the brand, and all of the men and women who strive for victory.

To strengthen our competitiveness and to lay the foundation for the success of our athletes, we are continuously investing in a great racing team and in research and development of our highest performance wing. The Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite developer Benni Boelli supports our athletes during the pro tour season to continously improve the product. You directly benefit from years of great team work and our absolute passion for hydrofoil, snowkite and kitebuggy racing.

The Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite lightweight construction is built upon our new X-Light fabric for maximum durability and highest stability. Our 3-Level Bridle Design and a total rework of the airfoil highly improves the aerodynamic efficiency; which results in stunning speeds with improved angles on all courses, and even better—almost unreal—lightwind abilities. Designed on short flying lines and supported by rigid construction and a new mixer which provides reliably-quick manouvering of the wing, the Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite shows its strength in gusty winds and let you fully focus on your riding to win the toughest races.

Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite Features

Hydrofoil, Race

The Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite shows FLYSURFER’s full commitment to kite racing. We are continually improving performance with each new model – striving for the highest speeds and the best angles on the course. The kite is highly efficient, powerful and aggressive – perfect for the fastest riders.

X-Light Fabric

At FLYSURFER Kiteboarding, we made weight reduction one of the important development goals for the Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite. The new X-Light Fabric has the best qualities for maximum performance and impressive longevity. The incredibly lightweight (32g / m²) double-ripstop material is highly tear-resistant as well as airtight, and provides an extremely smooth sail. The X-Light cloth underlines our philosophy of sustainability. You can trust the X-Light Fabric – built into your SONIC Race – to help you reach your best performance every season.

3-Level Bridle Design (A, B, Z)

The next generation in race-kite development. The 3-level bridle design dramatically reduces the number of lines and the associated resistance by an incredible 30%. The fully-spliced, uncoated Dyneema SK99 lines are the perfect choice for this application. The result: the best angles at maximum speed on every course. The Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite cuts cleanly through the air.

Our FLYSURFER Kiteboarding athletes worked hard with the R&D race specialist Benni Bölli on the fine tuning of the kites. The sleek Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite is constructed using the shortest flying lines (from 12-17m, depending on the size), to allow for the fastest maneuvers and kiting at the lowest angles. The highlight is the mixer, which can be adjusted by means of a new splice system. Due to the high aspect ratio of the kite, it is difficult to uniformly adjust the angle of attack. But the new mixer is a perfect match for the 3-Level Bridle Design, and changes the ratio evenly from the middle of the kite down to the tips while braking / depowering. The system transfers power to the kite by means of three deflection pulleys – A1 with 8:1, B1 with 4:1 and B2 with 2:1 – creating a steady pathway that provides uncompromised maximum performance.

High-Performance Construction

The Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite is imbued with our most cutting-edge technologies taken from both the kite and paragliding development. Proven features such as Cordwise Ballooning, Rigid Foil Technology, and Sharp Mini Ribs are integral parts of the design. The heart of the Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite is in its lightweight construction: the arc curve on the B-level allows the surface to be supported along the entire span by means of fewer lines while at the same time keeping the load evenly distributed. The X-Light fabric makes the construction stiffer and allows for an incredible maximum speed with full control in the most difficult conditions. The Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite is excluded from our 12-Month Free-Repair Warranty.

Automatic Drainage System

The drainage system is integrated in the entire trailing edge of the kite and terminates with 4cm long openings near the tips. This drainage system allows water and sand to be drained automatically, without affecting the performance of the kite. This feature allows you to get back in the race quickly after a crash.

IKA registered

Take part in every official IKA – Formula Kite race event. We have registered the Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite for every rider. This means that your Flysurfer Sonic Race Kite is already approved for every IKA race and you DO NOT need to apply for an additional IKA plaque ID. This was changed for the 2017 racing season.

Flysurfer Speed5 Kite

Read more on what Flysurfer says about the Flysurfer Speed5 Kite

The Flysurfer Speed5 Kite combines extrovert design with maximum functionality. As an excellent all-rounder, this kite convinces by faster and direct turning speed, intoxicating hang-time and outstanding performance. Unique versatility that inspires in every kite discipline and all skill levels.

FLYSURFER focused during the development of the new SPEED-line on functionality and product value. This amazing allrounder is known for its great fun-factor in light wind and intoxicating hang-time. The new generation is faithful to its strengths and also convinces by its high stability throughout the windrange, light steering and easy relaunch. The optimized turning as well as the large depower make the Flysurfer Speed5 Kite very well controlled and therefore very safe, which also underlines its enormous wide range of use.

The sophisticated newly engineered design in combination with the robust DLX+ kite cloth a very harmonious bar feedback has been created that appeals to both beginners and professionals. On top of that, the reduced aerodynamic drag due to the Rigid Foil technology and the Double Cordwise Ballooning helped to further increase the lift of the kite. Rounding off the unbeatable overall package with FLYSURFER’s typical, small pack size and a fresh design for the sportiest Flysurfer Speed5 Kite ever – creating new dimensions.

Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Features

DLX+ Material

DLX+ kite cloth offers increased strength of the base fabric and a new coating for reduced porosity. It is also tear-resistant and retains its material properties for longer. It is available in six fresh, eye catching colors.

Strong Construction

The new internal construction raises the quality of FLYSURFER foil kites to a new level. Double-stitched seams and extra taped ribs and straps provide even more stability.

Rigid Foil Technology

The Rigid Foil Technology is used to reduce wrinkles on the leading edge. This results in reduced aerodynamic drag and enhanced kite stability. As a result, the kite translates every gust of wind into propulsion without deforming the canopy. Overall, the Rigid Foils increases the kite’s stiffness and makes it more dynamic.

Double Cordwise Ballooning

Double Cordwise Ballooning is minimizing the creasing of the cells on the kite to an absolute minimum. With exactly calculated arc-shaped panel cuts, double-stitched and glued seams a perfectly smooth, high performance airfoil is created. This optimizes the aerodynamics, especially the glide ratio and the low end.

Triple Depower Technology

There are 3 ways the kite achieves its maximum depower: Reducing the angle of attack, profile change and reducing the projected area. This leads to a huge wind range and ideal handling.

Automatic Drainage System

The proven drainage system integrated in the whole trailing edge of the kite, with finally openings near the tips, about the size of a hand. They allow water and sand to be drained automatically, without influencing the performance of the kite.

Full Depower Safety Upgrade-Kit (FDS)

By default, the Flysurfer Speed5 Kite is equipped with a frontline safety (FLS). For fans and supporters of the 5th line safety system, we have developed a FDS upgrade-kit, which can be ordered in our online-shop or at a FLYSURFER dealer near you.

LIROS Dyneema Lines

FLYSURFER trusts in the lines of LIROS that are produced in Germany with a high quality standard. Thanks to their strong Dyneema core fibers, a reduced line diameter is possible while maintaining equal breaking strength.

MBS Colt 90 Constellation Mountainboard is an amazing entry-level to intermediate board that allows thousands of new mountainboarders and kiters each year to have a blast as they progress from beginners to winners. This is true now more than ever with this year's Colt 90 including several important updrades that allow its riders to advance a bit further before they're ready to upgrade their beloved Colt.

To begin with, we've completely overhauled the Colt 90's wheels. By upgrading tires to genuine MBS T1 tires with specially formulated high-rebound rubber material MBS has made this year's Colt 90 more than twice as fast as last year's, and by upgrading the Colt 90's tube material to high-grade butyl rubber we've reduced air loss and flats to little more than a memory. Other wheel improvements include genuine MBS rubber-shielded 12x28mm bearings and MBS' brand new FiveStar hubs.

Finally, to prove we are serious about allowing this board to be taken to higher heights we also upgraded its ATS axles from 9.5 to 12mm to match the diameter of the Matrix. In addition to the obvious performance enhancements these upgrades offer they have made the Colt 90 more compatibile with the rest of the MBS line so the choice to one day upgrade your hubs or trucks is as simple as that. We've replaced compatibility charts with true compatibility

The MBS Comp 95 "Birds" Kiteboard is the most versatile board, suitable for riders of all levels, from beginners looking for a board they won't outgrow to seasoned riders pushing the boundaries of the sport on a daily basis. Kiters and mountainboarders agree, with this year's Comp 95 being both the strongest and the lightest version ever produced there has never been a better time to join the Comp 95 club.

Other enhancements include an upgrade from Twistar hubs to MBS' unbreakable Rock Star II hubs and the advancement to MBS' F5 bindings which are stronger, more comfortable, and more adjustable than their F4 predecessors.

Land kiting can be done on snow or dry land, using a buggy or a land kite board. Land boards are more like amped up skateboards with foot straps, shocks, and larger wheels and trucks. Snow kite boards are basically snowboards, and some people ever strap on their favorite snowboard instead of buying a specific snow kite board. The same standard gear is needed for land and snow kiting as for kitesurfing. You will need a board, kite, harness, bar, and lines in order to get started. Check out our land and snow kiting gear, and pick up everything you need for your next epic kiting adventure.
